“All existence seemed to be based on duality, on contrast. Either one was a man or one was a woman, either a wanderer or sedentary burgher, either a thinking person or a feeling person-no one could breathe in at the same time as he breathed out, be a man as well as a woman, experience freedom as well as order, combine instinct and mind. One always had to pay for one with the loss of the other, and one thing was always just as important and desirable as the other.”
― Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund

“You change your life by doing, not by thinking about doing.”
― Gary John Bishop, Unfu*k Yourself: Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Life

“Because pain is the universal constant of life, the opportunities to grow from that pain are constant in life. All that is required is that we don't numb it, that we don't look away. All that is required is that we engage it and find the value and meaning in it.”
― Mark Manson, Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope

“Did Mom know? That I, too, needed her my entire life?”
